Charlie, thanks for the feedback. A million times thank you! that is
exactly what I was looking for.
One other question I have is altering CSS using .css in Jquery, will
that auto select any linked css files or will I have to further
develop the jquery code to further direct it? I ask becuse well, im
new, but the tutorial I used just used .css and acted like that was
all that was needed.
again, thanks for your help Charlie!
